Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! What you are seeing is likely mucous. It could be a urinary tract infection of puppy vaginitis. They tend to grow out of puppy vaginitis. Sometimes they need antibiotics if they are urinating small amounts frequently. I would set up an appointment with your Vet for an exam. I would try to collect a urine sample for the appointment. First wipe the vulva with a baby wipe or a slightly soapy towel (rinse) before collecting. I hope this helps!

    Hi, if Blacky has not been into season yet and the vaginal discharge is clear, mucous discharge, and she seems otherways well in herself she could have prepuberal vaginitis. It is a condition that is linked to hormones and it will self resolve once she goes in season for the first time. If the discharge seems more dense and white, she could have an infection of her uterus and therefore she better see a vet to get appropriate treatment which will likely include antibiotics. Hope this helps !

    Lexi may have a mild puppy vaginitis. This can become an infection but often it is nothing to be overly concerned about. As long as she's acting normal and the discharge doesn't smell or become heavy I would just keep an eye on her. As she matures this should go away. If it worsens then your veterinarian would probably put her on antibiotics. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Lexi.
